SOFTBALL The diagram shows the path of the softball in a drill developed by four players. Find the measure of each numbered angle.
Understand Examine the information in the diagram. You know the measures of two angles of one triangle and only one measure of another. You also know that 1 and 2 are vertical angles.
Use the Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem
Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem
Simplify.
Subtract 117 from each side.
Plan Find m1 first because the measure of two angles of the triangle are known. Use the Vertical Angles Theorem to find m2. Then you will have enough information to find the measure of 3.

Use the Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem
Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem
Simplify.
Subtract 142 from each side.
1 and 2 are congruent vertical angles. So, m2 = 63.
Answer: Therefore, m1 = 63, m2 = 63, and m3 = 38.
Check The sums of the measures of the angles in each triangle should be 180.
m1 + 43 + 74 = 63 + 43 + 74 or 180m2 + m3 + 79= 63 + 38 + 79 or 180

GARDENING Find the measure of FLW in the fenced flower garden shown.
mLOW + mOWL = mFLW Exterior Angle Theorem
x + 32 = 2x – 48 Substitution
32 = x – 48 Subtract x from each side.
80 = x Add 48 to each side.
Answer: So, mFLW = 2(80) – 48 or 112.
